Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 – Johann Sebastian Bach

Number of notes in a repetition:

This project aims at showing the repetition in music. Select a song, and you will see, for each instrument playing in the song, the pattern that the notes create, the signature of the instrument. On a signature, each column and each rown corresponds to a note. When a pixel is lit up, it means that the two corresponding notes (the one of the row and the one of the column) are the same.

You can modify the number of notes in a repetition in order to select melodies that are longer or shorter. If you select 5, for instance, you will only see the notes that belong to a melody of 5 notes or more and that is repeted at least twice across the song.

This project was largely inspired by the work SongSim by Colin Morris, a tool that shows the repetition in the lyrics of songs.
